This is a plea for help written in all caps with exclamation marks and all you want is some stocking suggestions?


Wow. I thought you had a tank full of your most treasured fish on the verge of death.

I recommend you put water in the tank.

A 55 is the bare min for an oscar, not such a great idea.

Clown loaches grow to be 15" long, and are a schooling fish. You would need 6 of them and a tank at least 125 gallons. They are a really bad idea. Gouramis and angel fish are't compatible, don't put them in the same tank.

Please find me pics of this...they are likely, in the next ten years or so, to get about 6 inches long.

Gouramis and angel fish are't compatible, don't put them in the same tank.
A very broad statement, you have no idea what species he means. And completely wrong as well... I've had angels and various gourami species together for years and had no problems.
